Sorry to say not all my pigs are rescue, but i still love them all to bits. Ive done my bit this year, and I'm sure will do a little next. Heres my rescues passed through this year. (I havent added gorgeous Peter that Lady Kelly took, he was from Jo at cheylesmore guinea pig rescue - gorgeous boy, shame i couldnt keep him)

Ok heres the pigs:

Polo: PEW boar, now 5 year old, rescued in Jan, didnt understand how to eat hay, had cystitis, chelitis, a skin condition, was skinney and very scared.... this is him now. (he has been a moody old man and i was unable to bond him all year, but now has little Merlin as a companion and they adore each other)

Autumn: Abysinninan sow, 1 yrs old. Rescued middle of the year (cant remember). Prooved to be a tough cookie to crack. Very scared of other sows and very defensive. Sadley unable to bond, but successfully taken on my my neighbour and is very happy lady. See her most days.

Hadley: Young rex boar. Dumped in the woods with a sow in August. Had an infestation of mites. Treated sucessfully. Homed to a lovely couple in Cambridge and first meeting with his new cage mate Gilbert went very well.

Saffy: Young himilayan sow. Dumped in the woods with Hadley, heavily pregnant. Very skitty and scared, but has come such a long way and loves snuggles. Gave birth to 3 healthy pups, 2 sows and a boar in Septemeber. All attempts at integrating into the herd has not worked, shes far to worried. Hopefully 2012 will bring her a boyfriend.

Continued.....
 
Finally Saffy's babies (all stayed with me). Born 6th Septemeber this year. Doing very well.

Midnight: Cute little black and white sow, getting on well with the herd. Loves her dinner and naughty for snatching food from others.

Magic: Tricolour sow. Unfortunatly had to undergo eye surgery at 4 weeks of age for a congenital defect in her conjunctiva. Bounced right back from it. Cheeky little girly. Very vocal. One of the first to scream for dinner.

Merlin: DEW boar. Definatly has some of his mums himi in him (cant see it in the photo much). Now happily living with rescue boar Polo. Best party trick is jumping on top of the iglus and bouncing from one to another. Nutter. Couldnt part with him now. Love him.

Gorgeous Bernadette whom I adopted from Rugby Rescue last sunday (as most people will remember) she has settled in well and is loving her huspig Dalton..
 
Guiness in the middle and Stella at the back were two elderly preloved piggies local to me that I took on request of a member who was worried about them. They are lovely girls and, despite some health issues, are still going strong aged nearly 6. Here they are meeting Priscilla and Marmaduke, two Walsall RSPCA piggies adopted last year. Sadly they were a bit stuck in their ways to make a herd although hey did all spend a lot of the summer on the lawn together.

Well that's all my pics of rehomed piggies, I may have missed a few and I've not included those piggies that have gone on to other rescues as they haven't got their forever homes yet, it's been a busy year for the rescue - hopefully lots more homes to come for those that are still waiting.

There is one more piggy to come though - but I will leave it to is new mummy to show you all.

Well here he is.....Mini-Maple (right) named after his namesake Maple (left) and he is now definitely in his forever home :))

Welcome Mini-Maple to the Pebble household.....x
 
That's strange. I replied to this, but my reply isn't showing up. Let's try again.

Thanks for the gorgeous pics. Maple and Mini-Maple are obviously the very best of friends.

That last pic reminds me of this other Two-Headed Monster (our Bella and Bobbi):

That is an amazing amount of rehomed pigs....

It's so good to see! There are some cracking characters on there too who have made an impression on me and my life like Danny, Eddie, Bill & Ted.

I just hope 2012 is as successful with first of all less piggies needing rescued and at least as many piggies finding happy new homes!
 
Ok - so I've got my pignapping list sorted, just need to programme the satnav to do a sneaky tour to smuggle them all here - mwahahaha

Oh poo - I'm only half way through the list of piggies and my pignappers pockets are already over flowing - ah well I'll have to make a few trips to get all the others missed off the list. So beware, just because your piggy isn't on this list it doesn't mean they are safe from my grabby hands!

Pebbles - Maple and Mini Maple are soooo absolutely beautiful, no wonder you couldn't give him back! x)

I love twin piggies like Bella and Bobbi!

Suzy I really wish you were nearer so I could come and help out at the rescue! Finley would love to have a cuddle with the piggy fairy god mother too!
 
I've just read through this wonderful thread from start to end - absolutely brilliant to see all of these gorgeous piggies and brings back so many memories :)) Well done to the OP for thinking of this and admit am thrilled to be able to see all of our rescues in great homes xoxo
Really has made my day :(|) x>>
 
Suzy this is another cute shot of Pootle, he was only in Rescue 6 weeks while I fatten the wee fella up, then he was snapped up by a lady that used to Foster piggies for the RSPCA and went to live with her boy Max.

The home that he came from kept forgetting to feed him and he was extremly underweight, curled nails and lived alone in a 2ft cage... he was such a sweetheart.

I remember someone on here saying you had a Himi sow when I was looking for one but Polly had gone to her new home so I missed her :) She's beautiful x)
 
Wow, I just can't believe how many have been rehomed its utterly fantastic and heartwarming. This is such a wonderful and uplifting thread too as sometimes you only see or read the bleaker picture; rescues full to the brim, piggies coming in from all sorts of backgrounds, being dumped, abandoned, abused and mistreated, and its sad to hear.

So this thread is so uplifting and just shows the wonderful work and love (from both rescues,rehomers and adoptees) go into these beautiful charming creatures.

Its also really lovely to see piggies going to members on this forum, it just shows this forum does help the piggies in rescues find loving homes.:)

Hope next year is just as good or even better than this year for piggies finding loving forever homes.


(Oh and to also add...how many are we upto now?)

The little pup in the middle is our gorgeous Olivia - cannot believe she was sooo tiny !
So many familiar names little and faces here. Lovely to see them all again, thank you Vicky.
 
I rehomed this little cutie called Louie from Becky at Becklen Guinea Pig Rescue in August.

I've loved reading through this thread! I'm so happy to have done my part for adopted piggies this year and whilst I'm now almost full up (eyes up the two big hutches currently in storage... No Erin... no!) I'm hopeful that I will be able to offer a home to a few of 2012's pigs in need.

Thank you to everyone else - rescuers and adopters - who have made 2011 a great year for rescue piggies!

Thank you for giving him a great home :)
